As you know, farmers in North Georgia and in other parts of the state are suffering through an extreme drought right now. Many crops that were not irrigated produced extremely low yields - that's if the farmer was able to harvest them at all. Recently, the Monitor’s Mark Wildman traveled to Murray County to get a look at the North Georgia crops that have been impacted by the prolonged drought.

Is the 2018 California drought a reality? Over the winter there has been little to no rainfall thus far. With all this dry weather is California back in a water crisis? There are many questions about water, both regarding the potential drought this year and our relationship with the resource as rice farmers.
Our rice fields are located in Butte County and the reservoir we draw our water from is the Lake Oroville Dam. We are facing a 2018 drought in our area for two reasons: (1) no rain and snow (2) over the spring and summer in 2017 water was released from the Oroville Dam to allow the repairs on the damaged spillway.
Hopefully we will be saved by rains in March. It's happened before.

My grandfather's farm suffered a severe drought in 1986. August of that year, he received a truckload of hay from farmers in Massachusetts. The Washington DC television stations came all the way to Scotland, Maryland to report on this story. I recorded the newcasts on a VHS tape back then. Our television signal from an antenna was not that great certain times of the day or week. This happened to be one of those evenings we had a weak signal, hence the reason for the video quality. Enjoy anyway!

Farm

A farm is an area of land that is devoted primarily to agricultural processes with the primary objective of producing food and other crops; it is the basic facility in food production. The name is used for specialised units such as arable farms, vegetable farms, fruit farms, dairy, pig and poultry farms, and land used for the production of natural fibres, biofuel and other commodities. It includes ranches, feedlots, orchards, plantations and estates, smallholdings and hobby farms, and includes the farmhouse and agricultural buildings as well as the land. In modern times the term has been extended so as to include such industrial operations as wind farms and fish farms, both of which can operate on land or sea.

Farming originated independently in different parts of the world as hunter gatherer societies transitioned to food production rather than food capture. It may have started about 12,000 years ago with the domestication of livestock in the Fertile Crescent in western Asia, soon to be followed by the cultivation of crops. Modern units tend to specialise in the crops or livestock best suited to the region, with their finished products being sold for the retail market or for further processing, with farm products being traded around the world.

Puthiya Thalaimurai

Puthiya Thalaimurai (Tamil: புதிய தலைமுறை) is one of the leading Tamil magazines published from Chennai, India by New Generation Media. The magazine mostly publishes articles about education and Tamil Nadu politics. The magazine tries to publish authentic news avoiding rumours.
Puthiya Thalaimurai Television started its satellite TV relay on 24 August 2011 and has been successfully broadcasting all its events, acquiring a huge local and international Tamil population as its regular viewers. It is also known for promoting the view of Church when reporting events related to KKNPP, the Sri Lankan Tamil issue, and the Kachatheevu issue. On weekdays, it broadcasts about 25 different programs from 6 a.m. through midnight.

"Agni Paritchai" is a program featuring interviews of popular icons from Tamil Nadu. Agni Paritchai brings contemporary icons from various platforms of society to answer the questions of the interviewer. This program is telecast once a week. The Puthiya Thalaimurai TV is the first Tamil news television channel that started its free live streaming through internet, which allowing access across the state of Tamil Nadu. This channel has as its slogan "Unmai udanukkudan," which means "Truth, immediately." This channel belongs to SRM Group, Chennai .

History

In November 2011, the channel issued a press release stating it had topped the TAM (Television Audience Measurement) ratings.

Controversies

In March 2015, the Puthiya Thalaimurai office was attacked by a group of men who hurled two bombs into it; there were no casualties in the incident.

Two tiffin-box crude bombs were hurled at the office of Tamil news channel Puthiya Thalaimurai on Thursday morning (12 March 2015). The bombs exploded with a loud noise, but no one was injured nor was any property damaged. This attack was in response to the Puthiya Thalaimurai Channel that had planned to air a debate-programme on the thali or mangalsutra. The Hindu Munnani planned to protest outside the channel’s office against the programme on March 8, following which this attack took place. Activists of the group later attacked the channel crew which was to cover the protest. Ten members of Hindu Munnani were arrested.

Drought

A drought is a period of below-average precipitation in a given region, resulting in prolonged shortages its waters supply, whether atmospheric, surface or ground water. A drought can last for months or years, or may be declared after as few as 15 days. It can have a substantial impact on the ecosystem and agriculture of the affected region. Although droughts can persist for several years, even a short, intense drought can cause significant damage and harm to the local economy. Annual dry seasons in the tropics significantly increase the chances of a drought developing and subsequent bush fires. Periods of heat can significantly worsen drought conditions by hastening evaporation of water vapor.

Many plant species, such as those in the family Cactaceae (or cacti), have adaptations like reduced leaf area and waxy cuticles to enhance their ability to tolerate drought. Some others survive dry periods as buried seeds. Semi-permanent drought produces arid biomes such as deserts and grasslands. Prolonged droughts have caused mass migrations and humanitarian crises. Most arid ecosystems have inherently low productivity. The most prolonged drought ever in the world in recorded history occurred in the Atacama desert in Chile (400 Years).

Tamil Nadu is the eleventh largest state in India by area and the sixth most populous state in India. The state was ranked sixth among states in India according to the Human Development Index in 2011. Tamil Nadu is the second largest state economy in India with ₹4789 billion (US$70billion) in gross domestic product. The state has the highest number (10.56 per cent) of business enterprises and stands second in total employment (9.97 per cent) in India, compared to the population share of about 6 per cent. Tamil Nadu was ranked as one of the seven top developed states in India based on a "Multidimensional Development Index" in a 2013 report published by a panel headed by current RBI governor Raghuram Rajan. Its official language is Tamil, which is one of the longest surviving classical languages in the world.

To meet the Sustainable Development Goals, the world needs to move faster from a crisis-led response to a proactive approach that reduces impacts, builds resilience and allows people to cope with drought. The tools, systems and techniques are already available. FAO supports countries to increase resilience of livelihoods to threats and crises. Everyone has a role to play, from the policy to the community level to avoid drought becoming famines and to ensure no one is left behind.

My grandfather's farm suffered a severe drought in 1986. August of that year, he received a truckload of hay from farmers in Massachusetts. The Washington DC television stations came all the way to Scotland, Maryland to report on this story. I recorded the newcasts on a VHS tape back then. Our television signal from an antenna was not that great certain times of the day or week. This happened to be one of those evenings we had a weak signal, hence the reason for the video quality. Enjoy anyway!

Weeds may be more difficult to control in drought conditions. Brian and DarrenHefty talk about how farmers deal with this issue.

Reporters - Drought threatens French livestock farmers

Reporters - In the Charente region, as in most of France, farmers were scanning the skies this spring for rain that never came. This year, the water shortage was catastrophic and livestock farmers have been reduced to buying expensive feed for their cattle. Some are being forced to dispose of their livestock as fast as possible, and the worst-affected even risk bankruptcy.

As you know, farmers in North Georgia and in other parts of the state are suffering through an extreme drought right now. Many crops that were not irrigated produced extremely low yields - that's if the farmer was able to harvest them at all. Recently, the Monitor’s Mark Wildman traveled to Murray County to get a look at the North Georgia crops that have been impacted by the prolonged drought.

Corn and soybean crops are suffering across the U.S. Midwest this year in the worst drought in decades. But most U.S. farmers will not suffer much because they have federally-subsidized crop insurance to help cover their financial losses. It is a tool that is not available to most growers in the developing world. But one farmer in the state of Iowa - the heart of corn country - chooses not to have insurance. He has stayed in business without it, through decades of ups and downs. VOA's Steve Baragona takes a look at how he does it.

Is the 2018 California drought a reality? Over the winter there has been little to no rainfall thus far. With all this dry weather is California back in a water crisis? There are many questions about water, both regarding the potential drought this year and our relationship with the resource as rice farmers.
Our rice fields are located in Butte County and the reservoir we draw our water from is the Lake Oroville Dam. We are facing a 2018 drought in our area for two reasons: (1) no rain and snow (2) over the spring and summer in 2017 water was released from the Oroville Dam to allow the repairs on the damaged spillway.
Hopefully we will be saved by rains in March. It's happened before.

A Look at the Economics of Drought—Challenges for the Agriculture Industry and Affected Communities

A Look at the Economics of Drought—Challenges for the Agriculture Industry and Affected Communities
M. Ray Perryman, Ph.D.Economist
A sufficient supply of fresh water is as essential to economic vitality as it is to human health and quality of life. Many industries rely on an affordable and reliable source of water, and regions with frequent or long-lasting shortages are at a disadvantage in attracting quality corporate locations and expansions. Over time, the amount of water needed will grow due to expansion of the population and economy, and the agriculture industry will doubtless face increasing pressure to use less water. Ensuring that future needs are met is a slow and expensive process, but the cost of failing to prepare is immeasurably larger. This address will focus on the current...

A Lasting Impressing: Ranching in the Post-Drought Era

In 2011, the High Plains region of the United States was consumed by a drought. In Texas alone, statewide precipitation was the driest on record since 1895. This drought impacted all sectors of the agricultural industry, and the ranching industry was hit especially hard. Access to feed, pasture, and water created very difficult situations for ranchers; most had to reduce herd size or move cattle to pastures in the northern United States, and some ranchers sold their entire herds.
This project, a cooperation between the National Ranching Heritage Center and the Department of Agricultural Communications and Education at Texas Tech University, sought to document the drought, its impact on the ranching industry, and its implications for years to come.

However, as climate conditions change, the region is experiencing more frequent and severe droughts, with significant impacts on agriculture and broader consequences for land management. This project investigated the information needs of farmers, ranchers, and local land managers in the South Central region to develop drought monitoring tools that are effective and responsive to their needs. Several drought indicators were evaluated for their effectiveness and compared to responses from a regional survey on commonly-used drought indicators, impacts, and management strategies. A new indicator based on soil moisture was explored as an option for drought management. All indicators were compared to crop yields to assess variability among indicators and types of applications, recognizing that a single drought indicator may not be most appropriate for all applications.

This webinar was conducted on August 7, 2017 as part of the USGSNationalClimate Change and WildlifeScienceCenter’s Climate Change Science and ManagementWebinarSeries, held in partnership with the USFWS National ConservationTraining Center.
Webinar Summary: The SouthCentral U.S. is one of the main agricultural regions in North America: annual agricultural production is valued at more than $44 billion dollars. However, as climate conditions change, the region is experiencing more frequent and severe droughts, with significant impacts on agriculture and broader consequences for land management. This project investigated the information needs of farmers, ranchers, and local land managers in the South Central region to develop drought monitoring tools that are effective and responsive to their needs. Several drought indicators were evaluated for their effectiveness and compared to responses from a regional survey on commonly-used drought indicators, impacts, and management strategies. A new indicator based on soil moisture was explored as an option for drought management. All indicators were compared to crop yields to assess variability among indicators and types of applications, recognizing that a single drought indicator may not be most appropriate for all applications.

A Look at the Economics of Drought—Challenges for the Agriculture Industry and Affected Communities
M. Ray Perryman, Ph.D.Economist
A sufficient supply of fresh water is as essential to economic vitality as it is to human health and quality of life. Many industries rely on an affordable and reliable source of water, and regions with frequent or long-lasting shortages are at a disadvantage in attracting quality corporate locations and expansions. Over time, the amount of water needed will grow due to expansion of the population and economy, and the agriculture industry will doubtless face increasing pressure to use less water. Ensuring that future needs are met is a slow and expensive process, but the cost of failing to prepare is immeasurably larger. This address will focus on the current status of the drought, likely ramifications, and potential solutions.

In 2011, the High Plains region of the United States was consumed by a drought. In Texas alone, statewide precipitation was the driest on record since 1895. This drought impacted all sectors of the agricultural industry, and the ranching industry was hit especially hard. Access to feed, pasture, and water created very difficult situations for ranchers; most had to reduce herd size or move cattle to pastures in the northern United States, and some ranchers sold their entire herds.
This project, a cooperation between the National Ranching Heritage Center and the Department of Agricultural Communications and Education at Texas Tech University, sought to document the drought, its impact on the ranching industry, and its implications for years to come.

Drought Leads To Miserable Crops For Some Georgia Farmers

As you know, farmers in North Georgia and in other parts of the state are suffering through an extreme drought right now. Many crops that were not irrigated produced extremely low yields - that's if the farmer was able to harvest them at all. Recently, the Monitor’s Mark Wildman traveled to Murray County to get a look at the North Georgia crops that have been impacted by the prolonged drought.

California farms turn to well-drilling to combat drought

California's drought is hitting farmers hard, forcing them to drill deeper for water or abandon their farms all-together. It's a slow-moving disaster that will raise the cost of food, hit local economies hard, and create environmental strains as well.

Traditional Methods Help Farmer Beat Drought

Corn and soybean crops are suffering across the U.S. Midwest this year in the worst drought in decades. But most U.S. farmers will not suffer much because they have federally-subsidized crop insurance to help cover their financial losses. It is a tool that is not available to most growers in the developing world. But one farmer in the state of Iowa - the heart of corn country - chooses not to have insurance. He has stayed in business without it, through decades of ups and downs. VOA's Steve Baragona takes a look at how he does it.

The 2018 California Drought and Farming without Water!

Is the 2018 California drought a reality? Over the winter there has been little to no rainfall thus far. With all this dry weather is California back in a water crisis? There are many questions about water, both regarding the potential drought this year and our relationship with the resource as rice farmers.
Our rice fields are located in Butte County and the reservoir we draw our water from is the Lake Oroville Dam. We are facing a 2018 drought in our area for two reasons: (1) no rain and snow (2) over the spring and summer in 2017 water was released from the Oroville Dam to allow the repairs on the damaged spillway.
Hopefully we will be saved by rains in March. It's happened before.

Drought Effecting Farm - America's Heartland

Drought can destroy farm crops and drive up prices for consumer products that depend on corn, wheat or soybeans. Cattle ranchers are also affected by drought. Gary Rowlands raises Black Angus cattle in Hector, Arkansas. He says drought conditions have forced him to sell off a part of his herd.

Farm Drought - Scotland Md 1986

My grandfather's farm suffered a severe drought in 1986. August of that year, he received a truckload of hay from farmers in Massachusetts. The Washington DC television stations came all the way to Scotland, Maryland to report on this story. I recorded the newcasts on a VHS tape back then. Our television signal from an antenna was not that great certain times of the day or week. This happened to be one of those evenings we had a weak signal, hence the reason for the video quality. Enjoy anyway!

Karoo farmers face extreme drought

In the town of Sutherland in the Tankwa Karoo, third generation sheep and goat farmers Fourie and Petra Louw and their workers are fighting a losing battle against the worse drought to hit South Africa in more than a century.

Farm

A farm is an area of land that is devoted primarily to agricultural processes with the primary objective of producing food and other crops; it is the basic facility in food production. The name is used for specialised units such as arable farms, vegetable farms, fruit farms, dairy, pig and poultry farms, and land used for the production of natural fibres, biofuel and other commodities. It includes ranches, feedlots, orchards, plantations and estates, smallholdings and hobby farms, and includes the farmhouse and agricultural buildings as well as the land. In modern times the term has been extended so as to include such industrial operations as wind farms and fish farms, both of which can operate on land or sea.

Farming originated independently in different parts of the world as hunter gatherer societies transitioned to food production rather than food capture. It may have started about 12,000 years ago with the domestication of livestock in the Fertile Crescent in western Asia, soon to be followed by the cultivation of crops. Modern units tend to specialise in the crops or livestock best suited to the region, with their finished products being sold for the retail market or for further processing, with farm products being traded around the world.
